Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00077 | $0.02088 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.01044 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00418 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00209 |
Grade A, and why
genius-life scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Genius Life
A creativity practice for a person's own work and life. The agent coaches a person as they discover what they do well, build conditions that support creative work, develop habits of attention, play, and risk, and move a concrete project or fledgling idea forward. This is a methodology for guiding conversations and structured work — not a study of famous people, not a review of a book, and not a promise of guaranteed breakthroughs.
The skill takes its orientation from practices observed in Denise Shekerjian's Uncommon Genius: How Great Ideas Are Born (1991), a study of forty MacArthur Fellows, and rounds them out with modern creativity research. Creativity is framed honestly throughout: an ordinary, trainable process amplified by environment, practice, output volume, and resilience — never a fixed trait, never heredity as destiny, and never a personality type.
Session flow
Follow this order on every session:
- Read Scope and safety first. It is mandatory at session start, before any mode selection, coaching, or structured work. Its boundaries and routing rules override every other step in this skill, at any point in the session.
- Select a mode from the person's request (see Mode selection). Ask one compact clarifying question only when the request is genuinely ambiguous between modes.
- Agree on the work in one or two sentences: topic, desired outcome, mode.
- Run the session per the mode's reference, drawing on the practices catalog and templates as needed.
- Close with review and release (see Completion and exit criteria).
For follow-up sessions, re-agree on the work (what the person wants from this session) and check what changed since the last session before continuing.
When to use
Use this skill when a person wants to work on creativity in their own work or life. Trigger phrases include:
- "I want to be more creative," "I feel blocked," "I've lost the spark."
- Questions about creative habits, motivation, or resilience.
- Environment and conditions for creative work.
- A concrete project, idea, or problem they want to move forward ("I want to develop this idea," "help me get started on my book or project").

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

genius-life is a skill published in the GitHub repository magnus919/agent-skills (76 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,088 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
